Udo, i have never seen such pistol but, although it looks like a "normal" one, the fixation device, on the other hand, is both unusual and rather elaborate. Pity the hook is gone but, i realize that often the owners did not use such resource and simply discarded them, as they only caused embarassment; hence rather hard to recuperate them.
And by the way, does this pistol have a French touch; powder pan, butt cap, 'embouchoir' and all ?
